Chapter 41: The Headless Rooster

Who this old woman is, the old patriarch doesn't know at all.

He only felt that the other party was very strange, why did she suddenly appear, and knew that he wanted to save Wang Jueming.

You must know that only the rooster knows about him saving Wang Jueming, except for him and Wang Jueming.

Just as she was about to ask something, the old woman said:

"Old patriarch, go back, don't care about anything, the dendrobium is well kept in the cliff, it is the precious fairy grass in your mountains, and no one can remember it. And also...... Don't worry, I promise that Wang Jueming will definitely survive. ”

The old patriarch paused and asked, "...... Who are you? ”

"Don't ask about this, you just have to go back."

As she spoke, the old woman turned around and left, and just after taking two steps, she thought for a while, and then turned back to the old patriarch and said, "By the way, the rooster you raised at home can be regarded as affectionate and righteous, and it was it that came to me and said that one life is worth one life, and I promised it." ”

After saying this, the old woman turned a corner and walked away.

After listening to the old woman's words, the old patriarch was even more dumbfounded.

This old woman who suddenly appeared is really strange.

Not only did she know that she was here for Wang Jueming, but what was even more amazing was that she also knew that she had a strange rooster at home.

Moreover, she also said that the rooster wanted to exchange his life for Wang Jueming's life.

It's even more incredible.

The old patriarch felt that there was a problem, so he wanted to catch up with the old woman and ask him to understand, but after running a few steps, he found that the old woman had already disappeared.

Standing on the street, the old patriarch's heart was a little yellow.

For this old woman who suddenly appeared, how could the old patriarch believe what she said.

The old patriarch still thinks that the only way to save Wang Jueming is to rely on himself, as long as he tells the "people above" the traces of the dendrobium, the young Wang Jueming can live.

Maybe the people in the village will be in danger, but everything will not be taken care of so much.

After wandering the streets for a while, he finally found a servant.

But the old patriarch hadn't said anything about Dendrobium, and the official waved his hand: "Wang Jueming and his group, after touring the streets today, they were escorted to the execution ground, and now they have been beheaded to show the public!" ”

The sun was dazzling, the streets were crowded, and the old patriarch felt that it was freezing.

The old woman's words kept echoing in his mind: "Your rooster, it said that one life is worth one life, I promised it, Wang Jueming, I can't die......"

When the old patriarch returned to Dongshan, it was already early the next morning.

He walked all night before returning home. As soon as he came back, he didn't bother to take a sip of water, he opened the chicken coop, and sure enough, he didn't see the rooster.

turned around and happened to meet his son.

The old patriarch asked his son where the rooster had gone.

The son told his father that something strange had happened in the village yesterday.

It turned out that the woman in the east of the village had just given birth yesterday, and the man was preparing to kill a hen to make soup for his wife's confinement meal.

As soon as he was about to enter the chicken coop with a kitchen knife, the rooster of the old patriarch's house suddenly pounced on the man's kitchen knife.

It was quite fast, the head of the chicken, and it was cut off on the spot.

The complete chicken head fell to the ground, still staring at the man holding the knife, his eyes were still bright.

And the chicken's body did not fall, but strode forward, exactly the same as the previous pace, and the blood rolling out of the chicken's neck made people creepy to watch.

When the man saw this meeting, he was frightened on the spot, threw down the kitchen knife and ran.

When everyone rushed over to take a look, the headless chicken had already disappeared.

On the ground, only the huge chicken head remained, and at this moment it was lifeless, and it closed its eyes motionless.

After listening to his son's narration, the old patriarch thought of the old woman's words, and his heart tightened, could it be that the rooster was really a life to a life.

The old patriarch would rather be detailed that this is true, then this rooster is to repay the favor.

I went to find a chicken head in person, and the old patriarch felt that this rooster was also affectionate and righteous, so he buried it himself.

Later, the old patriarch searched for a long time in the mountains, and never saw the headless chicken again. He expected it to be dead, after all, it was impossible for a living creature to survive without its head.

The old patriarch was sad for a while.

As for Wang Jueming's life and death, the old patriarch decided when to find a chance to go down the mountain and take a look, if he was still alive, he should also hide it now, and wait for the limelight to pass and look for it.

The days passed peacefully.

On this day, the old patriarch went up the mountain to collect medicine as usual, and when he passed by a steep slope, he was about to roll down the hill as soon as his feet slipped.

Below is a cliff more than ten meters high, and if you fall from there, the consequences are unimaginable.

Just as he was about to slide down, he suddenly felt something drag him from behind.

Then he heard the flapping of his wings, and when he was back flattened, the old patriarch finally saw the disappeared rooster again.

The headless rooster, to be exact.

Its fur is still so shiny, and its body is still huge.

It's just that it has no head in its neck, and there is a black bloody hole.

This rooster, sure enough, is still alive.

Seeing it, the old patriarch was very excited, and he stroked the hair of the rooster repeatedly, and the rooster was still the same as it was back then, although it had no neck, and it was also rubbing against him affectionately.

When the old patriarch brought back the headless rooster, the whole village was surprised.

Everyone gathered around and watched non-stop.

The rooster is still standing in the coop with his head held high, as if he is being worshiped by everyone.

Later, the son, the headless chicken, led the village chickens on a tour of the mountains, as before. Although he has no head, he knows the way to come and go.

After several more years, this headless chicken's qi count has slowly come to an end.

When it lay in the arms of the old patriarch before it died, its body was trembling, and it seemed that it still had some unfulfilled wishes.

The old patriarch knew what it was thinking, so he said, "Don't worry, I will go to see Wang Jueming on your behalf, whether he is alive or dead, I will come back and tell you." ”

After listening to the old patriarch's words, the rooster finally died.

The old patriarch buried the rooster with its head, and then he packed his bags and went down the mountain.

This time when he came to Qingshen County, the old patriarch found that after many years, this was a new era.

Therefore, he easily found Wang Jueming.

Seeing that the old patriarch was coming, Wang Jueming was very surprised.

He hurriedly invited the old patriarch into the house, and after the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, the old patriarch told Wang Jueming about the purpose of this visit and the rooster.

After listening to the old patriarch's words, Wang Jueming pondered for a long time and said:

"I don't know how I survived, the people I did with were all cut off their heads, but I was the only one alive......"
